Hey everyone!
My names Jess, I'm 18 and from Australia!
I joined this message board as it looks like a super friendly environment where everybody encourages everybody!
I'm excited to share photos with you guys and also view yours, to give you encouragment!
I'm 5'9, currently 65kg, I'm looking to lose say, 5kg and really tone my body!
I've never worn a bikini, so I'm hoping by December, I actually will! :)

    I would LOVE some friends :)))
    Please Note: That isn't me in my picture for those of you who don't know, Its Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens. :)
    She inspires me to get a good bod.

    Welcome!!

    My advice at your weight, would be to not to worry so much about the 5kgs and worry more about your bodyfat %. Start to weight train (don't worry you won't bulk up) and you will get smaller, firmer and might weigh the same :)

    ^^^ good advice here ^^^ For a moment I was wondering who would want to wear a bikini in the Winter.. then I remembered it is warm in Australia in December... I do agree with this above quote and will add... lift HEAVY.. In other words, don't do light weights for high reps as was traditionally recommended... Rather, lift heavy like a man... Lift weights that cause you to work at it and feel it. As the woman above said, you will not bulk up (due to hormonal differences between women and men)... Best wishes on your journey.
